One of the music units that we’d like to recommend in this edition is a powerful force from the city of Surabaya. They started their musical journey from their high school moment in 2009. After they officially hoist their flag under the name of Pig Face Joe, they released 2 singles at once, “Bar” and “Bart and Betty” in 2010.
This power-packed quintet from Surabaya is one of our highly recommended music units. Departing from punk energy, they wittily took the “Fist on your face” groove as their blueprint. One fascinating thing about Pig Face Joe is the astute Jamaican Sound into their repertoires!
With the line-up Happy (vocals + guitar), Andit (vocals + bass), Davin (guitar), Sonny (keyboards), Tommy (Drums), they were on hiatus until 2015, they released their comeback EP “Are You okay?” in 2016 and single “Maling” consecutively in 2017. They also added some tours in several major cities in Java & Bali for them. In fact, they released their full album “Big City Problems” which contains 13 colourful songs in 2021.
They convey messages of social awareness in a straightforward manner, both with solid guitar riffs to, well, bluesy styles that bring us the vibe of The Suicide Machines on the Warped Tour that featured Jeff Beck on the interlude. In addition, some of their compositions were naturally born to be an anthem, such as the track “Deadline.”
